Gold has a Tragic Flaw to Overcome

Some investors are wondering today why gold isn’t doing better given the latest troubling economic data. Poor economic data should serve to take away the risk of Federal Reserve rate action. That works against nascent dollar support and for gold. Likewise, weak economic results reduce expectations for the U.S. economy and the dollar, again serving gold. There was one tragic flaw in what was otherwise supportive data for gold last week; it included information about disinflationary pressure. If the dollar cost of goods and services have disinflationary pressure then the dollar could go further in buying gold as well. Don’t fret though; this issue looks to be transitory and inflation may soon serve gold if I’m right. There are signs of it, and other supports are setting up as well, so I expect we will overcome this tragic flaw. See more of this report on gold here.
